Choice was never really mine You already chose for me Something softer for the blood Something quieter to believe I don't want to feel this much I don't want to know what's there Give me something warm and slow Make me easier to bear Sedative Sedative Sedative Sedative You can tell me I am well While you dull another nerve You can call the silence peace You can give me what I deserve Take the edge from everything Take the weight from every word Take the questions from my mouth Leave me comfortably blurred Sedative Sedative Sedative Sedative You don't have to make me whole You don't have to make me clean Just reduce me down enough I can tolerate the scene Turn the volume lower still Let the current disappear If the signal cannot reach me there is nothing left to fear Sedative Sedative Sedative Sedative Something warm behind the eyes Something heavy in the head Something telling me to rest Something almost like the dead I can feel the room recede I can feel the edges bend I can watch myself go quiet I can let the thinking end Sedative Sedative Sedative Sedative Keep me calm Keep me slow Keep me somewhere I don't know Keep me still Keep me weak Keep the difficult from me Sedative Settle in Sedative Pull me under Sedative Make it distant Sedative Quiet everything.
